I'm not seeing Arunoday Singh: Aditi Rao Hydari

I'm not seeing Arunoday Singh: Aditi Rao Hydari

Aditi Rao Hydari has more or less been already tagged in the ‘girl next door’ category

Highlights

  • Dressed in a floral print shirt and jeans, Aditi Rao Hydari settles down for a tete-e-tete in her Versova home. She may be just a few-films-old, but Aditi Rao Hydari has more or less been already tagged in the ‘girl next door’ category. The actress is now part of the third installment of Bhatt’s erotic-thriller franchise, which she insists is not an image makeover for her but simply a chance to explore the sensuous side of her personality.
  • Do you see yourself fitting in the erotic-thriller category?
  • When you think of the film, you don’t think of me. And that’s why I have a lot of respect for the Bhatts. For them sensuous or sexy doesn’t mean that your cleavage has to be till your stomach! You can look innocent but you can have a sensuous side as well. I do have different sides to my personality and as an actor it’s important to explore them.
  • Your earlier films too had a lot of skin show.
  • If I trust the person, I’m with him all the way. With this film, I had no such qualms. With Yeh Saali Zindagi, people made so much hoo-haa. But when they saw it, they realised it was completely innocent. People in a relationship do make out. They don’t play cricket!
  • Recently, there was talk of Swara Bhaskar replacing you in Anand Rai’s next...
  • They were talking to me about the film but how can there be any talk about a replacement because I hadn’t even signed the film? I have been committed to Bhatt’s film since much before that. So Anand sir said we would work together next time.
  • There was some buzz about you and Arunoday Singh?
  • He’s my dearest friend and I would never go back on that. If somebody asked me if I was seeing him and if I was, I would probably not mind saying yes. But I’m not seeing him! At the moment I’m really working hard and have no time to even think about dating.
Mumbai: Dressed in a floral print shirt and jeans, Aditi Rao Hydari settles down for a tete-e-tete in her Versova home.

Do you see yourself fitting in the erotic-thriller category?

When you think of the film, you don't think of me. And that's why I have a lot of respect for the Bhatts. For them sensuous or sexy doesn't mean that your cleavage has to be till your stomach! You can look innocent but you can have a sensuous side as well. I do have different sides to my personality and as an actor it's important to explore them.

Your earlier films too had a lot of skin show.

If I trust the person, I'm with him all the way. With this film, I had no such qualms. With Yeh Saali Zindagi, people made so much hoo-haa. But when they saw it, they realised it was completely innocent. People in a relationship do make out. They don't play cricket!

He's my dearest friend and I would never go back on that. If somebody asked me if I was seeing him and if I was, I would probably not mind saying yes. But I'm not seeing him! At the moment I'm really working hard and have no time to even think about dating.
